@cagrajesh I don't think it is something new. here is the patch for foo2zjs

  1. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/foo2zjs-nightly.git
  2. download https://www.dropbox.com/s/xuf866273ybt4ba/patch?dl=1 to the foo2zjs-nightly directory
  3. patch foo2zjs using "patch -p1 < patch" command
  4. build using makepkg

should work, hopefully @intelfx will update the package soon

Thanks @dront78. :) Now, it's new one -

patching file Makefile Hunk #1 FAILED at 1454. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file Makefile.rej ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting...

There is something wrong with PKGBUILD :( or perhaps jinxed ;) Thanks for your help :)

@ron2138 Thanks. I was using the using the same till the latest 09-09-2018 update threw an error like 'https://forum.manjaro.org/t/adding-printers-on-kde-results-in-failed-to-get-a-list-of-devices-forbidden/46062' - which solutions did not solve for me. Hence, I am looking for an alternative, rather permanent, solution. :)

Replying to cagrajesh comment from 2018-09-11 11:28 about build failure:

The aur files are flagged out of date, which may be one reason for your failure. Other than waiting for someone else to elaborate more, you can try the Patching packages wiki article. This path might be harder than I imagine.

I think current hplip has more support for foo2zjs printers than it used to have. I plan to give it a try.

Building the package fails for me. The output is -

patching file Makefile Hunk #1 FAILED at 1454. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file Makefile.rej ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting...

I tried to follow earlier comments. I couldn't understand. Can someone guide me, please?

@ron2138 hopefully you understood the information in the thread I mentioned, especially after you spent some time looking for the link. I'm highly recommend to read carefully and start using appropriate tools for discussion instead of confusing people here. I'm using foo2zjs right now on several machines without any problems after the fix and I do not thinking about moving to the hplip because it will not allow me to use my printer over the LAN. thank you.

Referring to dront78 comment on 2018-09-08 18:26 about getting his printer working:

  1. Am I right you referred to this bbs thread? If yes, may I suggest you edit your comment and place the URL within it? If no, what bbs thread were you referring to?
  2. As an aside,

    I think I have the same issue. I will read that bbs thread more thoroughly. Thank you.

    Am I right the list of hplip supported printers states dront78's printer to be supported? In that case, did he consider not using foo2zjs at all? Until now I wasn't aware to the fact that my printer, lj1020, is on the list of hplip supported printers. Perhaps I will stop using foo2zjs. On the other hand, the already mentioned bbs thread has a reference to an hplip issue, and hplip has binary blobs, so it might be a bad idea.
